calculus

sorry to ask a second question so soon, but i'm just not getting this one.

if f(x)= 3x lnx, then f'(x)=?

i used
f'(x)=3x(D lnx) + D (3x) (lnx)
f'(x)=3x (1/x) + 3 (lnx)
so... f'(x)=3+3lnx or 3(1+lnx).
unfortunately that isn't one of the possible answers given. could one of you kind folks help me understand where i went wrong?

thank you

  6. You are welcome. So many times, students know the Calculus, but it is something from past math courses that cause the issue with finding the final answer.
